Really Morgan is out big news....

Wow - that's looking like it's going to be a carve up (even moreso than it was going to be anyway).

So Cowboys to win by 8?

Wouldn’t Drinky go into the halves?

Even better for Captain Fifita.

Could, but Drinky's also a shit defender so it wouldn't change much

Fifita Captain definitely cemented in.. Tonne thanks

I wonder if Drinkwater to 6, Holmes to 1, HTF to wing and O'Neill to CTR.

That does make Fifita very tempting.

Do it bro

I will if Schuster is still starting at 5pm tomorrow.

What are your trades this week?

Last time Souths played Roosters there were 68 points scored.

Surely that means fantasy gold for Teddy.  Roosters would have got the majority of those points, right?

That would be the game where he scored 53 in a game they lost by 52 right?

So if they lose by only 40 this time, Tedesco will score 41?

I think captaining Fifita has its risks. I have him. 65 and 70 minutes. Totally dependant on TBs and tries (2 last week). Bit of a bludger in defence. 20 tackles, 4 missed last week. I think Brailey’s safer, but I’m going Murray for a POD. Slug.

That's how maths works right?

I am actually considering Koloamatangi over Alvaro but will probs still go Alvaro.

Koloa looked very good last week and didn’t have any demerits.

Ash Taylor is an under rated out for the Titans. Very important part of their attacking structure

Tricky week this week.

Considering several options.

1) NAS to IPap. Similar prices but I see more upside in Pap assuming he can maintain good output on the edge. The dream here is he gets dpp but unlikely he gets enough starts on the edge. Even in that bench role he’s great value at the rate he has been scoring. And that’s without any attacking.

2) someone* to Egan. Bit disappointed everyone is on the Egan train but he looks an obvious buy if you think he has improved on previous years. Scores at about 0.63 ppm historically so in theory he should score 50 in 80 mins.

Think I’m happy to have another look at Schuey given these buys should make cash too.

*Sell options are probably Turpin, Twal or Capewell. Capewell leaves me with Fui in my 17 and no edge cover. So it’s either turf Turpin or cash up by selling Twal who’s only getting enough minutes to hold his value?

He was very solid mate. Good defence too. That position is his. I just hope Wayne keeps his minutes up. He was pretty gassed in the last 15, but still defended well.

The only thing I noticed from a fantasy perspective is that if he didn't need to get in for a tackle, he's run back into the line for the next play. Good football smarts I think but not ideal for fantasy. Still dug in where he needed to though. Great footballer.

Anyone who owns Fifita should be captaining this week, he is going to absolutely destroy that edge of Hampton/Dunn/Marsters/Taulagi

Ah shit. Another red.
Edit: Guess that forces my hand on trades so I've got cover then

Is anyone bringing in Koala?

Current team this week;

Brailey
Watson Tino Koala
Crichton Fifita
Cleary Milf
Bird Avo
Teddy Simonsson Laurie

Turpin Liddle Riki Niu

Leniu Lam Stefan Pappy

Looking at;

Lam - Schuster
and maybe Tino - Alvaro

If Leniu gets 40, Avo and Niu swap places to get his points, then Avo can probably sit in the EMG for Schuster. Not really expecting a 40 from Leniu tonight though. Still unsure on Tino but I liked the look of Alvaro last week. Long term cash building I think is important, although Tino could score nicely against the Cows.

Got him last week

Knight could be out quite a while yet as well Wayne said 3 more weeks and maybe more. Knight about 5 weeks ago got concussed at training charging into Tom Burgess and he still feels unwell not right and is getting headaches/symptoms. Sele and Jed not back anytime soon either so I’d say this is all good for Koloamatangi!

Re Arrow owners he should get 50mins tomorrow night but off the bench as Junior has made a great quick recovery from his minor hammy issue. Souths set to be 1-17 LLEETTSSS GGGOOOOO

I can't fault that logic. Still currently on Crichton, but I've been wavering towards Brailey today.
